Del Mar Horse Races

We all took the train down to spend the day at the Del Mar horse races. The two little boys, Michael and Ethan, did very well on the train and became entertainment for our car. They ran up and down the aisle and played with all the other passengers. One guy called Michael a "thug" because he wanted to do everything; even when told "no", he would still go on and do it. Oh that Michael, he a thug! lol.

As for the horse races, Jason and I didn't even win one race! The horses I picked always came in 2nd place. The horses Michael picked always got scratched. And the ones Jason picked were all longshots...and well...ended up close to last place! He will no longer be invited to the races. The kids found a jungle to hide in and dig up dirt. This was their only playtime since it was mainly an adult beer event. We departed Del Mar at about 7:30pm and arrived in Fullerton at about 11:30pm! We had to rescue the train in front of us and do brake checks. People jumped out of the train, raided the cafe car and someone broke open a window! All the toilets were clogged and the airconditioning stopped. The kids were getting restless and couldn't fall asleep with all the commotion! To some it was an adventure, to others a nightmare.
